Just looking at the picture, it looks to me like it's designed to be mounted below a metal control panel with carriage bolts on top. |

Yeah - got that. Poblem is it is going into a wood cab and I want it flush under the CPO. Any thoughts? |

Any thoughts? --- End quote --- I think you had the right idea... recess it all 1/8" to bring the bolt heads below CPO level, and fashion a cover plate out of 1/8" plexi or hardboard with recesses on the bottom of the coverplate for the bolt heads. With the CPO going over that, you won't need to fasten the coverplate down at all, although a little spray adhesive on the back will allow it to tack down and still be easy to pry out for maintenace if you like. |

Will it be hard to make the cover plate? Not sure how I would get a piece of MDF that thin to fill in? I was actually thinking maybe cardboard. It is easy to cut and shape and should provide the necessary support to the CPO. Thoughts? |

Cardboard would probably be fine too. |
